There is no way around it. If you race too early during the day the track won't hold up. It won't even be close. St. Louis tracks are way too comfortable dusting their crowds as it is. Sunday racing isn't for everyone and it hasn't ever been. It is for the real diehards. The ones that are willing to do anything to get another night in. That doesn't say that the racers will enjoy getting walked on or that they'd put up with it, but it does say that they are willing to have a rough Monday morning to get the extra night in. The same thing goes with the fans. In St. Louis the fans are a bit spoiled as far as driving distances to the racetracks. I mean when you get out of Belleville on a Sunday you are right in town. Godfrey, Pevely, and St. Charles were always really close to home. In Kansas City we went years (from 88 to 2000) with the closest dirt track being over an hour away. The closest Saturday night track was 50 minutes from Downtown. LA Raceway has been trying to do the same thing as Belleville by running rained out Friday shows on Sunday. They are 30 minutes from the next town let alone the major draw city. I think its great to have some place running on Sundays on rainy weekends. I mean I get blasted on here for criticisng promoters, but then when one finaly does something right everyone blasts him.
